It is a sad use which some make of this truth, when they hear that hypocrites hold fast upon duties, &c. they let go their duties; they let prayer go, repentance, and sorrow for sin go; they say, it is no matter for duties, they need not trouble themselves, Christ doth all. This is to turn the grace of God into wantonness. We must let go both our graces and our duties in point of justification, but hold them we must as our lives, in conversation, and the tenor of our lives. Prayer, hearing, fasting, repenting must not die, while we live; Do them we must, but glory in them we must not.

This is to turn the grace of God into wantonnes. We must let go both our graces and our duties in point of justification, but hold them we must as our lives, in conversation, and the tenour of our lives. Praier, hearing, fasting, repenting must not die, while we live; Do them we must, but glory in them we must not.
He holdeth them fast, but (yet) it shall not endure. 1That's the last thing. We see as often as the hypocrite rises to take hold of his hopes, so often his hopes fail him: (before) It shall not stand (now) it shall not endure.
